We want your life story. Please tell us at least all you remember about yourself. Baburao Patel
P. Narayanamurthy (Cuttack)
It appears from the replies you give to your reader? that you think too much of yourself and your magazine?
One can never think too much of oneself in these days of competition. I do think a lot of myself but that is purely in self-defence. If I didn't do so, I would be lost. Don't you think much of yourself? If not, you should retire to the Himalayas and spend the rest of your life in penance. My magazine is the best in India and I have no need to. be modest about it.

Has not Mr. M. A. Jinnah seen "Padosi"?
Nor has Mr. V D. Savarkar. with the result that -Mirza" is still at "Thakur's" throat. These old fossils learn slowly and learn late and the newspapers pander to them by turning their columns into spittoons for their stupid words. This is a nation of fools whe.e wise men commit suicide through sheer loneliness.
